Mr.. Thomas NJ. Wintermoyer, a

soldier, died at his residence at Duff
fields Depot in this county, April
18th, 1887, in the SD year of his
age. As soldier he served in Co.
B, I'd Va. Infantry, " Stonewall Bri-
gade," and it is related of him that
upon taking up the line of march to
leave the Valley on one occasion dur
ing the war, he expressed dislike of
General Jackson for having to leave,
when comrade remarked: Why,
Tom, if the General were to pass
along now you would be the first man
to throw up your hat" No l
wouldn't said Tom. 1t so hap
pened, however, that but few min

rang lusty cheer, for old 80 Stone-

satisfaction melted away in admira-

often led his soldiers to victory, and
who was never lacking in sympathy
amid the trials and sufferings they
were called upon to endure.

An American Prima Donna.

Baltimore Sun the following notice of
the success of most worthy young
lady, we'll known to many of our peo-
pie, and at one time resident here:
The Paris Morning Ne,cs of March
80 contains notice of Miss Evan, so
we'll known as the prima donna of the
st. Cecilia Quartette and leader
of the choir of the Congregational!
Church in Washington, ID. c., but
now pupil of Marchesi. The Ne,rs
says: "Among the many American
students of the lyric art now in Paris
is Miss Evan, of Washington, D. C.
Miss EVANS voice is 4 beautiful So
prano, which she uses with wonderful
skill. AS she is possessed of remark
able dramatic talent, brilliant future
is apparently before her. She is al
ready engaged for an italian season.
and a few weeks i'll London, after
which she expects to make her native
land the field of her future success"

BuIldozing colored People.

Colored school teachers were threatened with
dismissal by the Board of Education. (Mr.
Colston Chairman of the Democratic Exec
utive COMMITTEES. is President of the Board.)
[Cor. Wheeling IateiR9eneer.
Mr.. Edtor:-I wish to state,
through your columns, that the ar
ticle in the Wheeling Intelligeacer all
leging that the Board of Education,
of which Mr.. John T. Coiston is Pres
ident, intimidated the colored school
teachers and kept them from the polls
by threats of dismissal, is without the
least semblance of truth. Ihave been
teaching in Charlestown district for
ten years, and on election occasions
1 have always exercised characteristic
freedom and manly independence,
and never more so than under the adj
ministration of Mr.. Colston and the
present board of education. Mr..
Colston's influence with the colored
teachers is exerted through the me-
dunn of their fondness for him and
his generous kindness to them. and
not by threats of dismissal, or any
undue exercise of his official powers.
I have gone to the polls in open OPP
position to Mr.. Colston and his party,
and obligated to him by Indebtedness,
and voted my sentiments as free as
Mr.. Colston or any other citizen in
the State. Some of those who are
accusing Mr.. Colston of using his
office as political coercive machine.
are the very ones who desired him to
so abuse his power. He is ambitious
and energetic, hut was too magnan-
imous to acquiesce in the base schem-
ings of those whose greatest gener-
osfty Mr.. Colston in his noble nature
would deem a mcanness beneath his
notice. I do not write this altogether
in vindication of Mr.. Colston, hut to
defend the integrity of the colored
teachers. The writer of the article
in question NAV regard the colored
teachers of jefferson county as dupes !;
if he does. beg to inform him of his
mistake, for let any official attempt to
coerce us, and we will not ask any
outsider to make it public.

Things are out of joint when the
teacher is in worse position than his
pupil. Senator Blair, of New Hamp-
shire, has proposed through his bill
to educate the South, but it appears,
says the Baltimore San, that there
are Southern States where larger
proportion of the children attend
school than in New Hampshire, Maine
and Vermont. Only y per cent. of
the school population of Vermont at
tended school last year, as against 73
per cent. in West Virginia and 70 per
cent. in Texas. The daily average
attendance in Vermont was from 63
to 65 per cent, as against 60 per cent.
in South Carolina and Is in Florida.
If the usual reasoning in regard to il
1iteracy is worth anything, Vermont
is re1apsing, and the Down-Easters
generally have dark prospect before
them.
